[SOLVED] Problem with validating input from a text field

[proud]

This code is part of a function used to validate a text field input and accept only alphabetic characters and space:

 

 ret = TestInputType(objValue,"[^A-Za-z\\s]",strError, 
  objValue.name+": Only alphabetic characters and space allowed ");

 

My problem is that I want this function to accept dash and under score signs also e.g. (- _)

in the above code, \\s refers to space, so how could I refer to those signs?

I just got it! I never thought it was that simple.  only - and _ need to be added between the brackets, like this:

 

ret = TestInputType(objValue,"[^A-Za-z\\s-_]",strError,
  objValue.name+": Only alphabetic characters and space allowed ");
